The estimated cost of a piece of equipment can be defined in one or more of the following three places:
In the definition of the Device type
In the definition of the Device subtype
In the definition of the Model
Each estimated cost definition is inherited by the definitions that follow unless a new value is entered.
For example, if you define the estimated cost of a device type as $1000, the estimated costs of all device subtypes associated with that device type default to $1000. Likewise, the estimated costs of all models associated with those device subtypes also default to $1000. If however, you change the estimated cost to $1200 in the definition of the device subtype, the estimated costs of all models associated with that device subtype default to $1200.
